Career
Cleveland's career as a model began in 1966 when she was riding a subway platform with a friend en route to class, and was noticed by the assistant to Carrie Donovan, Vogue's fashion editor. Donovan, who was captivated by Cleveland's chic clothing, invited her to visit the Vogue offices, where the magazine later published a story on her as an up-and-coming young designer. The article resulted in her being approached by Ebony, who asked Cleveland if she would appear as a model for its Fashion Fair national runway tour.
